Hi,
I've analyzed irregular and regular structures by IDA.fragility curves show that probability of exceeding at each performance level at irregular structure is less than regular structure!!
Shouldn't it be reverse?
Irregularity is about rigidness of model,not mass.I concentrate mass of story at node of mass center in both model.Is it true?
Can anybody help?
Thanks in advance!

Re: How to differ between irregular and regular structures
Concentrating the story mass at the center of mass is correct.
What is the type and level of the irregularity?
